Shows which files in a Git repository have been modified and/or staged and what state they are in since the last commit
This is the main tool in git to see the status of the files on the stage and what state they are in.
Running this command will tell you what tracked files have been added, deleted or modified since the last commit.
On a fresh repo or branch, you should see the following:
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
